‘Mission Karmayogi’ – the National Programme for Civil Service Capacity Building (NPCSCB) aims to transform the capacity-building landscape of govt. servants from rule-based to role-based human resource management by equipping officials with the right competencies to deliver efficient and effective public service. Competency-driven capacity building in government employees is being facilitated by way of iGOT Karmayoti Digital Platform. The platform offers anytime, anywhere learning on key domain, behavioural and functional competencies.
2. Mission Karmayogi initiative has since been rolled out across IR vide Railway Board’s letter did 24.03.2021 under reference and for effective implementation, an NPCSCB Cell has been created in each railway unit. Further, 100% onbroding of railway personnel on the iGOT platform and regular consumption of courses by the on-boarded personnel have been emphasized from time-to-time by the Board.
3. In order to further underscore the need for continuous, role-specific capacity building, it has now been decided that all railway officers and staff will be required to complete prescribed courses on the iGOT annually and that the same will also be reflected in their Annual Performance Appraisal Reports (APARs).
4. It has also been decided to roll out a Comprehensive Level-2 Assessment Framework wherein competency attainment will be evaluated through standalone assessments based on courses identified for railway personnels at each level. All railway personnel need to pass the assessment mandated for them during the course of the reporting year and the successful completion of the assessment will also be reported in the APAR by fetching relevant data from iGOT portal.
5. Accordingly, following instructions are hereby issued :
- All the railway personnel, officers and staff including those deputed to other organization(s) shall be covered under the initiative.
- NPCSCB Cell (Training dte), Railway Board will identify and prescribe levelwise (Group A, B & C) courses for each department as annual target.
- A basket of iGOT courses will be prescribed for completion during each assessment year. All railway personnel shall complete minimum 50% of the courses prescribed by the MDO for the year.
- The basket will include minimum 3 courses for the standalone comprehensive level-2 assessment and the same will be mandatory to complete.
- All railway MDOs shall add the mandated courses as ‘Training Plan’ for each designations/positions/levels of their respective organisation on the iGOT portal.
- Once the ‘Training Plans’ are added, the courses mandated under the plan will be reflected in the ‘My iGOT’ section of iGOT profile of every onboarded personnel.
- All the MDOs need to ensure that every on-boarded officials update their profile on iGOT so as to correctly reflect her/his current role/position/designation within the railway unit. Until the profile is updated, mandated courses will not reflect.
- The status of course completion for mandated courses will be directly fetched from iGOT and reflected in the APARs.
- The information will be captured in appropriate section of Part-2 of the APAR.
- The initiative has been made effective from APAR reporting period 2025-26 (corresponding to APAR cycle of 2026-27).
- For reflecting the course completion status in APAR, iGOT is getting integrated with SPARROW.
6. The initiative will, however, be rolled out in phases and in the first phase, for the first year i.e. reporting year 2025-26 (corresponding to the APAR cycle of 2026-27), all Group ‘A’ & ‘B(Gaz)’ railway officers, who fill up their APAR through SPARROW will be covered.
7. As far as courses for the current reporting year 2025-26 (corresponding to the APAR cycle of 2026-27) is concerned, the same are under finalization and will be advised shortly. Meanwhile, all railway units are advised to ensure 100% onboarding of all Group ‘A’ & ‘B(Gaz)’ railway officers and updation of their profile on iGOT so as to correctly reflect her/his current role/position/designation within the railway unit. To assist in updating profile on the iGOT Karmayogi platform, please refer to the instructional video available at the following link. The video provides a step-by-step guide on how to update the profile effectively. (Profile Update Video : https://youtu.be/rhEIXdD9VD47sI=N5bELd9EAo_Ad0tn)
